Scroll Wave Dynamics in the Absence of ACh (Stretch-Related AF)-PLA View (A) Left panel: Schematic representation of the PLA view. Right panel: Two consecutive endocardial-epicardial phase video snapshots obtained at the PLA were superimposed with their corresponding photographic background picture (also see Online Video 2). The filament trajectory is extrapolated from simultaneous endocardial-epicardial views. The I-filament scroll wave is anchored at the junction between the pulmonary vein and the PLA; black circles represent secondary wavebreaks. (B) Sequential meandering trajectory of the same I-filament scroll wave during a 200 ms sequence (red to yellow). (C) In 4 hearts, 4 representative I-filaments scroll wave sequential meandering pattern. I-filaments (red, orange, green, and blue points) are anchored at the junction between the pulmonary veins (thin) and the PLA (thick) myocardium. Abbreviations as in Figures 1, 3, 5, and 6.
